As an interim coach leading the Phoenix Suns in 2015-16, Earl Watson didn’t
win much.

Earl Watson在2015-2016接下代理教練領執教鳳凰城太陽，但是並沒有贏下很多場勝利


He did establish a rapport with his players and laid out the fundamentals to
begin improving the defense. How much did that tell us about what Phoenix
will look like under his permanent head coaching tenure?

但Watson做到與他的球員關係融洽，並且打好基礎開始改善防守。這能告訴我們太陽在
他升任為正式總教練之後會變成甚麼樣子嗎？


Probably not much.

也許並不多


Injuries and coaching staff turnover make it hard to predict what the 2016-17
Suns look like on the court.

傷痛和教練組的更動使得2016-2017的太陽變得更難預測


Several buzzwords repeatedly popped up during media day on Monday that tell
us about the image Watson hopes to mold his roster into as training camp
begins.

而幾個不斷地在媒體日上出現的隊內流行語告訴我們在訓練營開始後，Watson會希望
他的球員們會被塑造成的樣子


Healthy


For now, the Suns feel they’re healthy.

目前為止，太陽覺得他們的球員很健康


With the exception of P.J. Tucker, who said he will try to speed up the
minimum six-week recovery from a back surgery, Phoenix will try once again to
form a dynamic duo with Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight coming off
season-ending injuries.

除了動了背部手術後需要最少6個禮拜復健，但聲稱會加速(3-4個禮拜)歸來的Tucker
，太陽也將再次嘗試後場雙槍---Bledsoe和Knight，兩位從球季報銷的傷勢中康復歸來


Bledsoe has a history of returning strong from major knee problems, but
general manager Ryan McDonough admitted that Knight hasn’t been healthy
since the Suns first acquired him.

Bledsoe有幾次重大膝傷的病史，而且McD也承認Knight自從太陽交易得到後並未健康過


The point guard played 10 games as a Sun before injuring his ankle in
2014-15. That required surgery heading into last season, which Knight began
not at 100 percent. He played 52 games as an injured groin derailed another
season.

Knight在2014-15的球季穿上太陽球衣後打了10場就傷到腳踝，這讓他在上個球季開始前
需要開刀，使得Knight在開季並未保持在100%的狀態，之後打了52場比賽又因為鼠蹊部傷
勢球季報銷


“I think finally feeling good after the ankle surgery and the surgery for
the sports hernia gave him a chance to kind of reset his body and build it
all up the right way,” McDonough said, adding he’s seen a different Knight
on the defensive end in pre-camp pickup games.

McD說“腳踝手術和運動型疝氣手術給了Knight機會去讓身體休息並且正確地鍛鍊身體，
這終於讓我感覺很棒”，在訓練營之前的對抗比賽中McD看到一個在防守端不一樣的
Knight


“The player I saw physically in person here was not the same player I saw on
film, in Milwaukee,” the general manager added. “He looks more like that
guy. I think a lot of it hasn’t manifested itself in his game offensively
last year; I think he settled for jab stepbacks and things like that because
he felt like he didn’t have the burst to get to the paint, get to the free
throw line, absorb contract and be able to take a hit and get back up.”

McD說”之前我所看到的Knight跟我在影片上(在密爾瓦基時)的人是不一樣的，現在他看
起來更像是影片的那個人，我認為去年在Knight在進攻端上並未展現太多的東西，像是做
出試探步後的後撤步之類的東西，而不是嘗試衝進禁區取分，身體碰撞後製造罰球機會和
被撞擊之後能夠站起來


Additionally, Tyson Chandler should be in a better place after nagging dings
limited his a year ago while forward T.J. Warren is back from a foot injury.

除此之外，在Warren從腳傷中康復回歸，Chandler應該比一年前開始出現惱人的小傷
中變得更好了


Transition defense


It first seemed like an effort issue.

這似乎是第一次需要努力的課題


The Suns, as Watson and McDonough both admitted, were one of the worst teams
in transition defense last season. Even after Watson took over, it was hard
to stop the bleeding because of the historic turnover problems that allowed
opponents to score 20.2 points off turnovers, the seventh-worst rate dating
back to 1996-97.

Watson和McD都承認太陽是去年聯盟中轉換防守最爛的球隊之一，在歷史級的自爆失誤導
致對手能因此拿下20.2分的數據之下(1996-1997後第七爛)，甚至Watson接管後也難以止
血


"Transition defense is first and foremost in building a wall,” Watson said. 
"We know we struggled with that.”

Watson說”轉換防守是首要且最先能製造出來的牆，我們知道自己對此很掙扎”


To that end, McDonough suggested the Suns will be less aggressive on the
offensive glass.

McD暗示太陽會因此降低對進攻籃板的積極度


Meanwhile, his coach wants Phoenix to become a top-10 opponent field goal
defense.

同時，教練也希望太陽能擁有聯盟前十阻擋對手命中率的防守


There were signs the young Suns were improving on defense at the end of
2015-16. Phoenix was 16th in the league by allowing opponents to shoot 45.4
percent from the field in the final 24 games and actually ranked 12th at 45
percent in the same statistic over the last 16 games. The latter came out to
allowing 102.9 points per 100 possessions, which ranked ninth in the league.

一些數據能反映去年球季末年輕的太陽球員有在改善他們的防守，在最後24場比賽只
讓對手命中45.4%排行聯盟第16名，在最後16場比賽只讓對手命中45%排行聯盟第12名
，這轉換成100回合時只讓對手攻下102.9分排行聯盟第9


“The ultimate goal is to become a defensive team and have grit and be nasty,
play with purpose,” Watson said. “We have great, unique players who can
guard more than one position.”

Watson說”最終目標是成為一隻有侵略性且難纏的防守球隊，有目的性的打法，我們擁有
一些可以防守不僅一個位置的獨特球員們”


Width


Watson’s successor and former boss Jeff Hornacek used to say it often: His
offense was to run a pick-and-roll and, if nothing was there, swing the ball
to the other side of the floor to make the defense move.

Watson和前任教練Hornacek常常說到:他們的進攻會放在擋拆戰術上，如果執行不了就把
球轉移到其他端讓防守陣式轉移”

But the ball rarely left the pick-and-roll.

但是太陽打法卻很少不用擋拆戰術


Watson’s offense may not start with it.

現在Watson的進攻不一定會首先從擋拆開始打


The Suns want to better utilize the width of the court and could take a page
out of Portland’s book, where Triano coached another guard-heavy team in a
more motion-heavy offense under head coach Terry Stotts.

太陽想要把球場寬廣度更加極致地利用，而且因為首席助教Triano之前在另一隻充滿後場
人手的波特蘭球隊，所以也可能使用到阿拓的戰術


“I think you’ll see less Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight dribbling the ball
at the top of the court and having most of the offense initiated that way,”
 McDonough said.

McD說”我認為你們將會比較少看到Bledsoe和Knight在弧頂位置運球且以此首先發動進攻
的次數”


Instead, look for more wing-entry, corner-entry or dribble-handoff plays to
get the players moving and the defense in vulnerable positions to lose Suns
on cuts off the ball.

取而代之的是兩翼切入，底角切入，無球進攻..等讓球員們移動並且讓防守端失去站位避
免被搶斷失去球權


Family


You won’t stop hearing this one.

你們會不斷地聽到這個單字


The word is the Suns’ answer to yet another overcrowded guard rotation, but
it goes deeper than that.

這個單字用來解決太陽後衛擁擠的情況，但是有比此更重要的事


On media day, McDonough said he was happy none of the guards have a looming
contract negotiation, like Bledsoe and then Goran Dragic did heading into the
last two summers. The distraction of Markieff Morris’ trade demands after
Phoenix traded his brother Marcus began the last offseason and went until the
trade deadline.

在媒體日上，McD說他很高興沒有任何後衛有合約談判的狀況，像是過去兩年的Bledsoe和
Dragic，另外也沒有需要分心的事情，像是從弟弟被送走後一直說”吹密”直到季中終於
被交易走的Markieff Morris


Newcomer Jared Dudley said part of his job was rooting out cliques formed in
the locker room, while Tyson Chandler admitted the “foundation kind of broke
” last year.

新成員Dudley說他一部分的任務就是把休息室內結黨成派的狀況給剷除，而Chandler承認
去年是連”基本的事情都損壞了”


What’s new this year?

今年有甚麼新的面貌?


Watson has brought his coaches and players to yoga and spin classes, while
Bledsoe and Knight paid for some of their teammates to bond on a trip to San
Diego in the offseason.

Watson將他手下的教練們和球員們帶去上瑜珈以及飛輪課程，而休賽季的時候Bledsoe
和Knight分攤出錢招待他們的隊友們去聖地牙哥旅行使他們的關係更好


“We’re going to go about this thing as a family,” Chandler said. “We hit
some rough patches last year where the foundation kind of broke. I think this
team realistically a playoff team. Now, some things have to happen in order
for you to accomplish that goal — it’s tough with youth. It’s definitely
something we can accomplish.”

Chandler說”我們打算透過這些成為一個家庭，去年我們連基本的東西都損壞了以至於不
斷地陷入困境，我認為這隻太陽事實上是一支能打進季後賽的球隊，目前有些事情必須按
順序地發生以讓你能實現目標，這對年輕人有點艱難，但這絕對是我們可以做到的"
